Rose Hips Extract

Rose Hips Extract is obtained from the pseudo-fruits of Rosa canina, harvested post-frost to maximize vitamin C content (up to 1% by weight). The extract is rich in bioactive compounds, including galactolipids (e.g., GOPO®), carotenoids (lycopene, beta-carotene), and flavonoids (quercetin, anthocyanins). Cold-pressed or water-extracted to preserve heat-sensitive nutrients, it exhibits a tart, fruity flavor and vibrant red-orange pigmentation.
